Hong Bak is a dish mutual amidst the Hokkiens. Somehow I practise acquire confused alongside the Hokkien's version of Tau Yew Bak as well as Hong Bak, what's the difference? Please permit me know because they practise await similar to me. Hope to larn to a greater extent than :)
From what I know the East Coast Chinese descendants inwards Kelantan as well as Terengganu makes about other version as well as they combine pork alongside chicken as well as the ingredients are dissimilar too.
So, what brand the Penang Nyonya version different? It's the role of coriander as well as lesser galangal (last painting exhibit below).
After I receive got tried this dish, I knew why I don't quite similar to swallow nyonya dumplings.... it's the combination of edible bean glue alongside coriander seeds that puts me off. My solid unit of measurement don't receive got the same work every bit me, as well as my married adult man happily ate upward all. It's only my personal problem.
